Title: having troubles while installing O_o
Post by: stalkiii on January 11, 2011, 09:45:48 AM
hello,
so i'm having this problem, which I have never had before, I have had your great mod installed like 4 different times, and this is the first time this problem occures, so after it asks me in which folder do I want to install it, it says this " The folder name cannot include any of the following characters:  / ; * ? " < > | "
and I have the slashed of course, between the folder names, like program files/THQ/company of heroes
So.... you guys have the answer i'm looking for?

Most likely, your issue is about "start menu folder", and all you should do is remove ":" from the given directory name.
I donno, why EF team never cared to correct that one, maybe that's their way to get rid of people with poor PC user skill.

Is what I get for trying to help you?  ???
Besides, putting ":" in the installation wasn't my idea, I just guessed, why it's not removed 'till now. Though I myself think, they should have done it a while ago.
Anyway, there was not need to insult me, for I never did anything to deserve it. So, some apologies would be nice.
